If you have ever been driving your car pass a bunch of street dogs or just simply standing and watching you will notice that the dogs seem to have a liking to the cars that pass. They will run at the car and bark furiously until the car either stops or is out of their reach. But what is it about cars or any other moving equipment that triggers this effect by our dogs. Well, stick around and lets go into the bark of the matter.

Dog Chase CarsDogs chase cars because they are fascinated with spinning and moving objects. There is just this thing about objects spinning, running or moving which entices dogs. If you took off the wheels off the car the dogs bark at and run them down the road you will notice that the dogs will still chase and bark at those car wheels. It is actually the movement which fascinates the dogs. For example, a dog will more likely to chase you if you run from it than if you simply walked away. Dogs are natural chasers and they welcome the run. While some dogs me see this as just playing, more serious dogs will run down a object or person and if possible hold on to that object until told to release. Dogs like the idea of running at an object and catching it. They see this as a challenge and will welcome it whole heatedly.
